Summer is here! For many families that means trips to the pool, loads of outdoor activities, backyard barbecues, and even beach vacations. Although you and your family may be planning a vacation, summer illnesses aren’t planning on going anywhere.

This is Jennifer Dawn here… and I have several tips to share with you today to help your family stay healthy this summer including a recipe for immune boosting popsicles and a fantastic giveaway.

A BIG word of thanks goes out to Kinsa for sponsoring this post.

Insect-borne infections, stomach bugs, water-borne illness, and other conditions can all plague your summer long after cold and flu season has ended. That’s why it’s important to take steps to protect your kids even during the warmest months of the year.

No one wants sickness–especially during the summer–so here are several steps you can take to keep your family feeling their best!

Tips to Keep Your Kids Healthy This Summer

  1. Wash away the germs. With all the summer fun going on around them, kids are more reluctant to take a break from playing for the essentials like washing their hands. Continue to encourage good hygiene and plenty of hand washing.
     
  2. Get enough sleep. During the summer months, days are longer and bedtimes become laxer. Stick to a routine and ensure that your child is still getting plenty of rest.
     
  3. Hydrate. Keep your kids hydrated especially on days spent out in the hot sun. Nothing beats water for staying hydrated, but natural fruit juices and healthy popsicles are great options too. In fact, we have a fantastic popsicle recipe we’re sharing with you below.
     
  4. Stay active. Ditch the screens and make sure the kids are getting plenty of exercise and activity in the great outdoors. My child’s doctor mentioned the other day that just 15 minutes outside each day prevents vitamin D deficiencies in kids.
     
  5. Safety first. Summer means more time spent outside participating in fun outdoor activities. Protect your kids from extreme heat and sun by using hats and sunscreen and seeking shade during the hottest parts of the day. Practice bike, scooter, and rollerblade safety with helmets and knee pads. And always make sure kids are supervised around water.
     
  6. Be prepared. Restock the medicine cabinet with first aid supplies and other essentials your family might need. The Kinsa QuickCare™ Thermometer is a great item to keep handy. It links to an app that helps you measure and track your child’s temperature if those summer illnesses do hit. Kinsa’s free app tracks fever readings, symptoms, diagnoses, medication doses, and other notes in a time-stamped log, for each member of the family. It also offers guidance based on your child’s temperature readings. No more wondering what to do next when your child is running a fever. This thermometer and app give real-time advice based on your child’s temperature, symptoms, and age.
     
  7. Stick to a healthy diet. With so many summer treats, it’s easy for kids to pass on eating the recommended servings of fruits and veggies. Keep your kitchen stocked with healthy snacks all summer long. Make treats that have nutritional value and health benefits like the tangy citrus immune boosting popsicles we’re sharing with you today! They are absolutely delicious, but they also pack a serious punch in helping to support your child’s immune system.

More About the Kinsa QuickCare™ Thermometer

Kinsa turned the first device you grab when sickness strikes – the thermometer – into a support system to help keep your family healthy.

Citrus and Ginger Immune Boosting Popsicles

How do these popsicles support a healthy immune system?

  • Ginger: The ginger adds the perfect amount of zing to the popsicles, but it also has proven health benefits. Ginger root can help prevent infections by inhibiting the growth of many types of bacteria. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

    Making Immune Boosting Popsicles

  • Pineapple: With antioxidants, enzymes, and vitamins, pineapple is an unsung super fruit. Its high levels of vitamin c, help to support the immune system. It also has several surprising benefits like supporting bone and eye health.
     
  • Citrus: Sure! Citrus fruits have plenty of vitamin C which supports a strong immune system, but they also have other healthy nutrients like potassium and fiber. And with flavonoids, they are good for your heart too!
     
  • Honey: Local honey is believed to help with seasonal allergies. Honey has other health benefits and can even help suppress coughs and soothe sore throats.

Our First Fever of the Summer Season

Our summer has already had a rough start. My youngest child fell in the yard and fractured two bones in his arm. Then two of my kids were hit by a virus.

It was two days after we’d returned from our beach vacation to the South Carolina coast when one of my children climbed into my bed and crankily called out, “Mommy, I’m tired and want to lay down.”

For my super active 5-year-old this was not typical behavior. I thought that he might just be worn out from the trip but decided to take his temperature. The digital screen on our Kinsa QuickCare™ Thermometer read 104.4 and the phone app gave an alert to immediately call the pediatrician. Since he wasn’t showing any other symptoms, the doctor on-call gave us instructions on how to get the fever down at home.

Within two hours, we had the temperature down to 100.9. Rest, fluids, and our immune boosting popsicles were on the agenda for the rest of that day and the following day. Thankfully he turned a corner within those two days. It was just a short-lived virus that had to run its course. What a relief to be able to take quick temperature readings and track his progress!

The pediatrician told us about a virus going around that results in high fever and aches for 1-2 days. When one of my other children came down with it, the Kinsa QuickCare™ thermometer was an amazing tool to monitor their fever and track their progress back to health.

Using the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer

We want the rest of our summer to be free from further sickness and injuries, so you better believe we’re following these steps to keep everyone safe and healthy.

    We make sure our kids are getting the recommeded allotment of sleep to start. I find it really helps in keeping their bodies inline. Second, we consume a lot of citrus that has vitamin C. We also make sure to give the kids each a daily vitamin. We limit intake of liquids that are not water, while making sure to up their water intake. And we also make sure that they are washing their hands after using the restroom and being around those that are sick.

    In the summer, hand washing is a favorite. When you leave your hands under cold water and allow it to hit your pulse points, it also helps to cool you down. Thank you for the giveaway!

    I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve offered in your post.
    They are really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are
    very short for starters. May you please extend them a bit from subsequent

    My favorite way to try to prevent a cold is to not go around people that I know are sick. When I am in public, I try to remember to wipe down the handles of grocery carts and watch what is being touched by someone who appears to be sick.

    The game involves capturing more Pokemon and battling with other Pokemon trainers when challenged.
    If feasible, put into teams, and also have a few adults
    per team, regardless of whether you will find older teens.
    Another way to engage a person’s eye of children who usually easily get distracted is actually providing them with opportunities for learning using interactive media.

    Various techniques of off page optimization are pr announcements, article distribution, website
    marketing, linking with social networks, through link exchanges, blogging, banner and
    forum posting etc. Once you’ve got identified the keywords who have a rather large number of
    monthly searches, the next step is always to identify those that are genuinely tightly related to
    the page you are creating. Do keyphrase research to locate narrow search
    terms linked to your niche and make use of them as titles on your pages.
